How should an ideal nose be?

In art, the harmony of proportions between the parts of a whole has an aesthetic result. This ratio is mathematically referred to as the golden ratio. golden ratio; It is observed in many living creatures of the body and nature, such as the arm and forearm, between the adjacent finger bones. In rhinoplasty, it is tried to be true to this rule, since obtaining ratios close to these ratios is more welcome in aesthetic perception.

In rhinoplasty, attention is paid to the preservation of the golden ratio based on the wishes of the patients, and the existing variations are also tried to be taken into account.

In order to better explain this to the patient, plastic surgeons can show the planned nose with various 2D or 3D applications. By exchanging ideas on these applications, the patient and the doctor can determine the final shape of the nose to be made.

Although the patient’s wishes are priority, it is necessary to act by considering the proportions of the face. Making a very large nose too small may create problems for the skin to adapt to this type of operation and may not produce satisfactory results in terms of desired results. It is important that the predicted results in the virtual environment show parallelism with the post-operative results and try to be realistic in terms of the trust relationship between the patient and the physician after the operation.
